The Mitochon solution has been designed with input and advice from our physician partners from the beginning. At our core, we are a physician-centered company and believe that the physician-patient relationship is central to superior healthcare delivery. Key to our mission is our goal to build a Virtual Medical Community™ (VMC) platform that enhances the physician's ability to serve his or her patient with a level of care that he would wish to receive for his own family. Central to delivering this quality of care is enabling seamless, secure exchange of patient clinical data from physician-to-physician and between physician and patient.
